French School XVIIIth, Portrait Of Man With Letter (h 74 L 60 Cm)

This portrait is the work of a French school of the 18th century. Three-quarter profile, this man holds a letter in his right hand. This one, put forward and showing in a very visible way the writings "Monsieur. Monsieur Cary, Marchand à Potin", is a major element of this painting which gives this portrait its singularity.
Dressed in a khaki green frock coat with gold-colored braid open over a green waistcoat with buttons and a lace shirt which, by its white color, illuminates the scene, this man has all the sartorial elegance of his century.
He stands out from the dark background of a green curtain which is left and right, a clear opening gives depth.
